I think it's really sad situation. Mind you, some folks have decided that being homeless is a good lifestyle for them, and welcome what comes with it.
But on the other hand of the homeless spectrum is the local family that had their rent raised and no longer can afford the place they live in....had to move family to beach on the westside. Both parents work, and kids still attend school even while being teased from other students at there school! My heart really bleeds for these type situations.
So what does Oahu do to solve the homeless problem? I would think Oahu should build affordable housing,right? Wrong, Oahu solution for the homeless/housing problem...build as many "Self Storage" places as possible! That way they feel they are helping the problem by offering up a place to store their belongings {roll eyes}. But in reality these jerks are taking away the last few dollars these people have.
I see these humongous Storage places on Oahu that could house countless homeless families....it's a crying shame!
